HOUSE. TORN BY A BLAST, Huge Block of Stone Crashed Into Sniffen's Dining. Room. CLOSE CALL FOR TWO WOMEN, They Were Standing in the Doorway When the Boulder Entered, FURNITURE AND CHINA BROKEN. Contractor Pucci, Who Had Charge of the Excavating, Can- not Be Found. A big piece of jagged rock, 3 feet long and fully 2 feet across, was lying this morning just inside the window of the @ining-room of William A. Sniffen's flat, on the second floor, at 216 West Eightieth street. The rock crashed through the window yesterday afternoon from a blast which exploded in the rear of the building, 150 aeet away. The rock struck the woodwork of the window, and smashing the frame, bounded Into the room. The ceiling of the unoccupied flat on the floor below was broken and knocked @own by the shock. The entire window frame was torn out. Mrs, Sniffen and her mother-in-law were the only ones in the flat at the time. Mrs, Sniffen said they were stand- ing in the dining-room door when the ex- plosion took place, and had a very nar- Tow escape. They had just been at the window watching the men at work, under Con- tractor Antonio Pucci. and moved away when the signal was given that the blast was about to be exploded. If they had remained at the window they would have been killed or seriously injured. As it was, the shock nearly prostrated them. Mrs. Sniffen says blasting has been going on there some time, and that many of the neighbors have been fearful of a nerious accident. Besides smashing in the brick work around the window and tearing out the frame, several pieces of furniture wore @mashed and the glassware on the diu- ble, which had been set for din- was broken to pieces. The blasters are not at work to-day and Contractor Puccl was not to be found. Adam Glid, the owner of the building, reported to the Building Department to- day, and Inspector Harry Strachan vis- {ted the place. He says that the accident was evi- dently due to carelessness on the part of the contractor and his men. The Dlast was covered with logs, but they ‘were not properly secured, The law requires that the los be ten feet long and t:n inches square, with holes bored in the ends, so that they can be fastened together. ‘The logs used were ordinary round logs six inches in diameter, and without any means of properly securing them with chains. ‘The law says that 500 pounds of stone shall be placed on the logs before the Dlast is exploded, but it looks as though this provision had not been complied with, ‘ The city ordinance regulating blasting in this way was only lately passed. Inspector Strachan also says that the direction of the resistance of the blast was not properly calculated, and that the whole force of the explosion was in the direction of the damaged build. ing, and pieces of rock were scattered all about the yard in, the rear. He also said that the contractor had deen complianed of before, and that pro- ceedings were pending against him In the Building Department. ‘The penalty that may be inflicted is a revocation of his license. ‘Two or three windows in other parts of the building were broken by flying Stones, though little damage was done there. ‘The neighborhood ts very much in- censed against the contractor, ‘The police of the Sixty-eighth street atation say all they have done in the matter is to order Pucel to stop blast- ing until the Building Bureau has com- leted its investigation. They do not tend to make any arrests in the case 3 no person was injured. ‘The report that they were looking for the foreman of the gang of workmen was denied. -_——— MACY & CO.

Less Labor, Dirty Streets or More Money the Alternative New Dumping Boats and a Better Trimming System Necded. Commissioner of ‘Street - Cleaning George E. Waring appeared before the Board of Estimate and Apportionment and read three very important letters on the subject of clean streets in this city. His first letter was as follws: Hon. William L.

In effect, It in- creased it to the full limit, whieh, with extra pay for Bundays, earned by @ large proportion of the force, maken the annual payment sbout $824, practically for "‘common labor."

In reducing the cost of labor, we may elther nelect a certain number of men ‘who are now re- colving $2.30 per day, turn them out, and deprive them of all income, with their families to be provided for, of reduce the rate of wages paid to the whole force. ‘The latter course would allow the streets to be maintained in thoir present state of cleanl! return them to romething Uke ‘thelr pra oof uncieantiness.

Comptroller Fitch played with his all- ver pencil and studied the elaborate cell- 4ng decorations. The Mayor took Col. Waring’s com- munication and read aloud those para- graphs which called attention to the aliernatives at the city’s disposal where- by the big deficit at the end of the year cculd be reduced. “Now, gentlemen, we must do some- thing about this,” sald the Mayor. “We can't afford to have a half million de ficit at the end of the year.” “But the people want clean streets, Mr. Mayor,” said President of the Board of Aldermen Jeroloman, softly. “I can't see any way for more money being given to the Street-Cleaning De- partment,” was Corporation Counsel Scott’s contribution to the discussion, Then the Mayor leaned over towards Comptroller Fitch, and the Comptroller inclined his head towards the Mayor, and after a short, whispered conference, which Col. Waring couldn't help hear- ing, owing to his close proximity to the conferrees, the Mayor said: * shoud like a little more detailed ac- count of these expenditures than Col. Waring has given us here, “I wilt therefore appoint, Mr. Jerolo- man, Mr. Barker and Mr. Fitch, a Com- mittee to go over the figures, and rec- ommend either a reduction in’ the force or whatever other suggestions they may be able to make to straighten out mat- got up and sprung ter ‘Then Col.

Even the Mayor smiled, and Corpora- tion Counsel Scott, perceiving that the laugh must come, said tactfully: “That is worth a policeman apiece to us, is it not, Commissioner?” ‘This furnished the needed excuse to laugh, and a loud guffaw from the mem- bers of the Board followed. ‘Mr. Roosevelt reddened ‘slightly and retired.
